Campfires can cook food.

[erdrik]

I dunno if this has been suggested before, sorry if it has.

I would love if campfires could cook meals.
Im thinking only the simple meal, and cooking a meal reduces the lifespan of the campfire.

(also as an aside, does the campfires lifespan get reduced in the rain? because I think it should be...)

There are two mods around, as far as I know:

Hobo Stove by JuliaEllie
Cookfire - Campfire Cooking by phoneboi

I haven't tested any yet, nor studied campfire performance under fire.

If I wanted a mod I would have posted in the mod forum.
The suggestions forum is for requesting things being added to the vanilla game.

It'd be good to have in vanilla, right now the player couldn't really get away without having all those spare rations littering the map.

It feels like the build order for me is,
cave>door>beds>(someone farm)>solar>battery>wire>stove>$$$.
And since I have all this set up >heater
So the fire never gets used by me.

Because I need simple meals I'm pushed into the modern era, having a cook-function on the fire would not only be an intuitive function, but could also mean that all electronics could be locked into research options, giving us more time to muck around before going modern. How fun verses frustrating that'd be idk, would be interesting to see though.

But yeh absolutely all for the initial suggestion.

Sorry, man. A fault in my brain conduit caused a short circuit which made me assume this is a Mods section  .
